Version 1 Version 2CAPO 1 [Intro] A F#m D A A F#m B E A F#m D A A F#m E A [Verse 1] A F#m D A I wish I knew how it would feel to be free A F#m B E I wish I could break all the chains holding me A F#m D A I wish I could say all the things that I should say A F#m Say 'em loud, say 'em clear E A For the whole round world to hear [Verse 2] A F#m D A I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart A F#m B E Remove all the bars that keep us apart A F#m D A I wish you could know what it means to be me A F#m E A Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free [Verse 3] A F#m D A I wish I could give all I'm longin' to give A F#m B E I wish I could live like I'm longin' to live A F#m D A I wish I could do all the things that I can do A F#m E A Though I'm way over due I'd be starting anew [Verse 4] A F#m D A I wish I could be like a bird in the sky A F#m B E How sweet it would be if I found I could fly A F#m D A I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea A F#m E A And I sing 'cause I know how it feels to be free
